Maitland Black Boy Written and recorded by Bryan Watkins

C G7In Maitland’s busy High Street all dressed in red and blue CThe city’s famous black boy is there for all to view C7 FHe stood there by the roadside a hundred years or so C G7 CReminding passing people of the days of long ago

F CHe’s held the reigns of horses while their owners were away F C G7And taken care of sulkies and the local farmer’s dray C C7 FAlthough the horse and sulky days will never come again C G7 CHe stands with hand extended to take a rider’s rein

G7He’s watched man’s steady progress through said seeing eyes CAnd seen a little country town into a city rise C7 FIf only he could speak to us of Maitland’s early life C G7 CHe’d tell of all the pleasures the troubles and the strife

F CWhen drought came on the valley he stood through searing heat F C G7His painted shirt and trousers all crumbled round his feet C C7 FBut when the drought had broken and the good times came in view C G7 CA coat of paint and there he stood dressed up as good as new

G7He shared the people’s heartaches that come with raging flood CAnd stood as water raced on by all stained with yellow mud C7 FHe’s seen this happen many times throughout these hundred years C G7 CAnd joined the sadden people by shedding rusty tears

G7I don’t reside in Maitland so you’ll ponder for a time CJust what it was that caused me to pen this little rhyme C7 FI really can’t explain it it’s oh so hard to do C G7 CBut I love that little fella every bit as much as you

F CI know he has no beating heart within his iron frame F C G7And he’s just a little statue but there’s no given name C C7 FBut treat him as you would a child and not as something caste C G7 CAnd let him stand in memory or your town’s historic past
